I know I missed this out on my future tournaments list, I have no idea why, still don"t. However I have booked this bargain and will rack my befuddled cranium space for why I thought I couldn"t make this one.

It"s an age thing......

Yep £57 (debit card)

[Paulie_D]

In case anyone else has trouble...use the September £19 Offer and search for Newcastle Under Lyme*.

It does appear that Saturday has increased to £34...demand must high.

*Make sure you don"t pick Newcastle Upon Tyne....as these are full payment in advance and non-refundable.

Why on earth are you all staying Sunday night as well?

[Paulie_D]

Why on earth are you all staying Sunday night as well?

One might go deep in the ME (OK, unlikely for me) or friends might.

For me...it"s a 4 hour drive home...much closer for Ger but for £19 one can have a drink on Sunday too....why not?

Oh...and there"s always the possibility of a Side Event or there is the Gentings Sunday Night efforts or the Grosvenor down the road.

[AceOnTheRiver]

I"m in.

Other than for distance reasons, I just don"t recall many occasions where people tend to stay on Sunday nights. With Stoke being fairly central it was a surprise to see Sundays being booked when most would have work the next day. Long weekends FTW

There"s a bar  

[Paulie_D]

Long weekends FTW  

You bet your sweet patootie....other than Vegas this year (and that"s in December) long weekends ARE my holidays.

You are right, of course, there is no specific reason why people who are centrally located NEED to stay Sunday but by that argument one could say that if they are within, say, 2 hours* they don"t need to stay any night.

*Except where prohibited by law.

Booked

May have to drive up after work but can do that, M6 will be fun though. Yeah it is definitely £72 for the three nights now, recommend booking now if anybody can.

Susie P and I (not together obv.,) had already booked in here for Friday and Saturday (£63), so cabs should be cheap enough between us all.
